Thanks for this issue report. Are you referring to the demo code on the homepage?

I am referring to this page: https://lucenenet.apache.org/

It only worked for me with this

dotnet add package Lucene.Net --prerelease
dotnet add package Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common --prerelease

I think the content in the black box should reflect this.

Great point, thank you for clarifying. We also intend on adding a demo template, but I think we can improve the instructions here about the other packages required.

I'm also wondering if it would be helpful to create a "Lucene.Net.StarterPack" NuGet package that has no code itself but brings in common Lucene.NET packages like Analysis.Common, and possibly some common others like QueryParser, Facet, and Highlighter... we could then use this single package in the quick start on the homepage.

Being that in later versions of Lucene, they brought the StandardAnalyzer back into the core library (likely based on user feedback such as this), I would say no, we don't need to do that. We will eventually upgrade our way out of this issue.

In fact, I wonder if we should even bother addressing this at all. Whatever the solution is, we will need to back it out when we upgrade. It seems like a waste of our limited resources to spend time doing something that will cost more time later.
